Caring for Pony Tail Palm

Palms grow best when you let their roots fill the pot.

They need soil-based potting compost and should not be re-potted unnecessarily.

They are sensitive to chemicals and will be damaged if you expose them to aerosol sprays.

If you need to treat them with insecticides, be sure what you use is suitable for a palm.

Watering should be done early in the morning if the soil feels dry to touch.
